To illustrate the point you made:
I just zapped you 27 sats, which is roughly the equivalent of 2¢ in euros.
They would say it's insane to do that because those 27 sats quickly compound and my great-great-great grandchildren could use them to buy a spaceship to Pluto, or whatever, but that evades the question:
Have they also spent 2¢ on something, today?
